Letters and communities : studies in the socio-political dimensions of ancient epistolography / edited by Paola Ceccarelli, Lutz Doering, Thorsten Fögen, and Ingo Gildenhard.
In the ancient world, letter-writing not only forged connections between individuals, but also helped to construct and cultivate group-identities and communities. This volume explores the interrelation of epistolary communication and socio-political practice across four key cultural configurations: Greece, Rome, Judaism, and Christianity.
